From Coding To Decoding

I have been trying to decode an intricate question from quite some time that why people take things for granted or better to say why people take love for granted. Today by god’s grace, answer for the same was revealed to me in due course of spontaneous reflection while going through few timeless love stories.

Love is something as old as the history of humankind. On the contrary, technology is relatively a new phenomenon. Now, how these two co-relates each other and how they are concerned with my question. That is how I went to decode the same.

Today I was in a mood to browse through few timeless love stories and then after reading, I found an answer to a long unaddressed question-----“What makes someone to take his/her love for granted”. The answer lies deep within the advent of technology. Yes, it may sound bizarre but that is true. Love is a vast ocean made up of mystery, purity, longing, hope, union, severance, etc. Earlier, in order to experience love, one would require embarking a mysterious journey that was full of co-incidences, one after another, as there was no such real time medium to be in touch.

The depth of love would be enhanced with the absence of your beloved. With the longing, respect for the presence of your soul mate would be inevitable. Now sans elaborating more on the same let see how technology created a dramatic impact on love. Finding a soul mate is just a click away or just one co-incidence away in any form, these days. Thereafter, one need not wait for long to encounter a chance to be in touch with a loved one.

Technology has literally taken a toll on our patience. Older time, love was patient but modern love does not believe in having patience. It is about if things do not work, let us opt out. Where is that longing? Where is that respect of another’s presence? Remember… Law of diminishing marginal utility? When there would be no longing, how can we expect that taken for granted attitude does not creep in? So far I would struggle with this question what makes someone to take his/her beloved to take for granted. Here, revelation comes to me------Technology. I wish if I could belong to a golden era only to find the infinite joy in witnessing that someone has been looking for me from years and has come all the way from far by crossing mountains, rivers, dense forests, risky trails----only to show me a glimpse of depth of love.

"I stopped looking for light and decided to become it instead"

Impulsive rush of quitting is finally over. I have heard that cyclones are horrifying ---Inner and outer, both. However, it is still difficult to make a comparative analysis that which one is more horrifying. Is it the one that give physical wounds, or is it the one that give wounds to your soul? Both may turn fatal if the magnitude is intense. I had been waiting to have a glimpse of heaven.

Amidst an unexpected encounter with deadly cyclone that my soul experienced for 3 weeks, I managed to catch a glimpse of heaven. When I landed in ‘Brahmakumaris Center’, I felt speechless. Rajyog meditation course began. The first day satiates my quest for getting hold of such a powerful mantra for which my soul was yearning from years and years. With the passage of time, inner cyclone began to subside. Sense of tranquility began to prevail. In between, I made a promise to see myself in the mirror only when this course gets over. After 7 days, I could not believe on my eyes. A dull face with puffy eyes was radiating with inner peace. As the illusions began to fade, duality began to disappear; inner peace began to come naturally. Family life began to stabilize.

People around me noticed the transformation and applauded. Majority of the people believe in Angels and so do I. I also do believe that God gives us clues to enable us to take up a right direction but due to being absolutely lost in our own illusions, we fail to catch those clues. My mother had been asking me to take up this course since last few months but I kept on delaying. When I met my childhood and school friend after the gap of 20 years, she too asked me to do the same. In no time, I did comprehend that I should not delay anymore. The very next I enrolled for the course. It has been 3 days since the course got over but the tranquility still lingers. A wish to reside in their Mount Abu Center for few days is latest wish my on my Wish list.  

Through following the path revealed by Brahmakumaris, I no more crave to reserve a place for myself in heaven. Instead, I dream to create heaven within my own self.
